The U.S. Men's National Team faces four-time World Cup champion Italy on Feb. 29 in Genoa, and U.S.
head coach Jurgen Klinsmann is eager for the opportunity.
"We're looking forward to having all the European-based players back in the roster and picking up
where we left off with them from the Slovenia game," Klinsmann said.
"There is no wind in the new stadium, none. It's an oven, so it kind of sucks for the other team
coming in because they're going to die." -Geoff Cameron

Geoff Cameron has been a standout for the Houston Dynamo of Major League Soccer, and has not only
lead the Dynamo into the MLS Cup this past season, but also received a recent call-up to the US
National team.
His play is worthy of national team consideration, but it's his presence and positive attitude that
have been key components in his success.

One of the best things about being a Dynamo fan is our players give 200% on the field -- yes,
this is mathematically an impossibility, however, none of us would argue they do indeed give a full
200% -- except perhaps the occasional Right Midfielder/Winger from say Jamaica, not to single any
one specific player out or anything.
The U.S. men's national team will play its first match of 2012, and an MLS-heavy squad will take
the field against Venezuela on Saturday night in Arizona with many players looking to impress
Jurgen Klinsmann and work their way into the full senior team mix.
Some familiar faces are back in the mix as Benny Feilhaber and Ricardo Clark are in camp, while
Heath Pearce joins them as the only players on the camp roster with more than 30 caps.
Major League Soccer's newest soccer-specific stadium will officially open Saturday afternoon, as
the Houston Dynamo end their season-opening, seven-game road trip to open up BBVA Compass Stadium
against D.C. United.
The final touches have been put on the stadium, which Geoff Cameron told the Houston Chronicle
is like "an oven" because of the lack of wind that carries through the park.
After each match the contributors to New England Soccer Today will rate the performances of the
United States National Team players who made an appearance on a 1 to 10 scale (1 horrendous, 5
average, 10 perfection). This week Brian O'Connell, Julian Cardillo and Sean Donahue contributed
ratings for the USA's 1-0 victory over Venezuela.
With the first friendly of 2012 producing a thrilling, though somewhat disappointing 1-0 victory
against Venezuela on Saturday, the U.S. men's national team is now in Panama preparing for the
first tough road match for this young group.
Jurgen Klinsmann scheduled this Panama match with the expressed purpose of testing inexperienced
players in a hostile environment, and the opponent is one who should provide a tougher test than
the one provided by Venezuela.

Why is our backup goalkeeper getting arrested for assault in a bar?
It just wasn't the Houston Dynamo's night and it wasn't that the team played poorly, far from
it. Seattle were just a little bit better and took advantage of some luck and a mistake by Geoff
Cameron to down the Dynamo 2-0 in front of 38,304 at CenturyLink Field.
Houston started promising with a lot of possession and putting some early pressure on Sounders
goalkeeper Michael Gspurning.

Opinion: Call Off the Torches and Pitchforks on Colin Clark fb.
The Dynamo have played five MLS matches in 2012, all on the road. They have 2 wins, 2 draws and
a loss, for a total of eight points, good enough for fifth place in the Eastern Conference. If the
playoffs started today, the Dynamo would be out...but they don't start today. There are still two
matches until the home opener in the brand spankin' new BBVA Compass Stadium, but no matter what
happens in those 180 minutes of soccer, things are looking good for Houston.

Stoke City 1-1 Everton Premier League 1st May 2012
Former Birmingham City hitman Cameron Jerome came off the bench to net an equaliser for Stoke at
the Britannia, in a game lacking much quality.
Spindly striker Peter Crouch had given the visiting Toffees the lead just before half-time when
he deflected a Tony Hibbert cross into his own goal.

Geoff Cameron has kept very busy over the course of the past six months.
From playing playing in friendlies with the U.S. men's national team to continuing his
transition to centerback with the Houston Dynamo, Cameron has not had too many dull moments since
falling at the hands of the Los Angeles Galaxy in last season's MLS Cup final.
By Chris Wright
Crewe squeaked past Southend United to reach the League Two play-off final, drawing 2-2 at Roots
Hall and advancing courtesy of their narrow 1-0 victory in the first leg despite the best efforts
of Railwaymen striker Byron Moore to bungle it for his side.
While Geoff Cameron and most of the biggest names in U.S. Soccer are in Orlando training this week,
I cannot help but think that Jurgen Klinsmann would be wise to call up Will Bruin in the future. By
the time the 2014 World Cup in Brazil kicks off, I'll be surprised if Bruin isn't on the national
team.

- MLS.com writer Joe Prince-Wright claims that Cameron's services are wanted by Championship club
Reading, and newly-promoted PL teams West Ham and Southampton. (Talk Sport)
- Ives Garlacep states that Cameron's time with Houston "may be coming to a close in the near
future.
I know the transfer window doesn't open until tomorrow, but I've had some time to dig into this
Geoff Cameron interest story originally broken at Soccer By Ives (like so many of you have pleaded)
and here's the skinny: Houston should expect a couple few offers in the coming days. For reals.
This is not a drill.
By Jason Davis - WASHINGTON, DC (Jan 12, 2011) US Soccer Players -- After a grueling
invitation-only three-day combine in Florida, young players with professional dreams will be chosen
by needy teams anxious to find the next Taylor Twellman, Steve Zakuani, or Geoff Cameron. It's
Major League Soccer's SuperDraft, a reprieve for those that can't abide a couple of months without
MLS soccer.

After some back and forth this morning, the Montreal Impact held on to their number one pick and
took Duke defender/midfielder Andrew Wenger.
Wenger should come in right away and be a starter for this expansion club.

Athletic Bilbao tonked third-tier side Albacete (bit of trivia: Andres Iniesta is the club's
majority shareholder) 4-0 in the Copa del Rey at the San Mames last night, with the third goal of
the night being scored by forward Gaizka Toquero a man who, to quote Wikipedia, is 'blessed with
few technical skills but is a tremendous hard-worker'.
Their Words "It's true, I am not totally familiar with the way things are over here in CONCACAF,
but I will be. This is one of the main reasons that we will go play a friendly in Panama later this
month." US National Team coach Jurgen Klinsmann. Other Sources Solving the U.S. back line puzzle -
from ESPN.
The club website sprang into action again yesterday afternoon and highlighted a double strike
for our forgotten man John Bostock as a strong Spurs XI demolished a weaker Celtic side by four
goals to one at the Lodge.
Perhaps it was more telling that John had started the game on the subs' bench and only came into
action after an injury to Cameron Lancaster, who had opened the scoring in the 18th minute.
Oh look, Cameron gets asked a question which irks him and straight away resorts to nasty jibes and
insults. It does seem to me that Cameron sees the House of Commons as a bothersome inconvenience
distracting him from gala lunches and cosy meetings at Chequers.
So, sitting here this afternoon thoroughly enjoying the Bundesliga back in action after an
interminable winter break, I have come across a series of stories that might just warm the hearts
of us Houston Dynamo supporters near and far.
First comes this excellent piece from Soccer America about Geoff Cameron in USMNT
camp.
Here is the USA's starting lineup against Venezuela:

Before we dig into some of my takeaways from tonight's battle with Venezuela (another
three-pointer!), the original starting lineup: Bill Hamid, A.J. DeLaGarza, Michael Parkhurst, Geoff
Cameron, Heath Pearce, Jeff Larentowicz, Jermaine Jones, Graham Zusi, Benny Feilhaber, Brek Shea,
Teal Bunbury. As for the highlights, check out the ESPN3 replay here.
It wasn't that long ago that Providence product Michael Parkhurst and Attleboro native Geoff
Cameron were just two local talents hoping to play their way from the grassy fields of
southeastern New England onto the big stage.
Cue the big stage.
On Saturday, the defending duo both of whom played club soccer for Rhode Island-based Bayside FC
found themselves paired together in the center of the United States defense for the first time
during the squad's 1-0 shutout of Venezuela.

The United States is running out of chances to find some solid form before World Cup qualifying
starts in summer. Tonight, they take on a Panamanian team they really should beat and they will be
returning to the 4-4-2 that Jurgen Klinsmann has seemed so intent on doing away with. Chris
Wondolowski will start alongside Teal Bunbury at forward.
Hmm. Looks like a 4-4-2 diamond for the USMNT tonight. Not especially feelin' it, still don't
understand why this camp roster wasn't larger. Oh well.. enjoy the game, player ratings after at
MLSS and Will plans to drop some thoughts tomorrow morning.Rimando; DeLaGarza, Parkhurst, Cameron,

Graham Zusi got his first National Team goal in his second National Team game, putting the United
States up eight minutes into Wednesday night's friendly against Panama. Both teams pressed the
offense in the first-half, with US goalkeeper Nick Rimando and his counterpart Luis Mejia called
into service.
After each match the contributors to New England Soccer Today will rate the performances of the
United States National Team players who made an appearance on a 1 to 10 scale (1 horrendous, 5
average, 10 perfection). This week Brian O'Connell, Julian Cardillo and Sean Donahue contributed
ratings for the USA's 1-0 victory over Panama.
The US "Camp Cupcake" roster closed out their camp down in Panama today with a 1-0 win thanks to a
goal by Sporting KC midfielder, Graham Zusi. Like the game on Saturday against Venezuela, both Zusi
and Teal Bunbury started for the United States, while CJ Sapong found himself starting on the
bench. The US got a good start, as Zusi finished off a chance in the 8th minute to give the US a
1-0 lead.
Defender Corey Ashe gives us his aspect on preseason training so far, his goals, and
friend/teammate Geoff Cameron.
Last night, I was at work and I missed the USA at Panama match on Galavision from Estadio Rommel
Fernandez in Panama City. Too bad, it would have been my first look at lots of young USMNT
prospects making their debut with the senior NT. The starting lineup was Nick Rimando in goal, AJ
De La Garza, Michael Parkhurst, Geoff Cameron, and Zach Loyd in the back, Ricardo Clark and
Jermaine Jones in the

The Portland Timbers reached back into their USL history for their latest assistant coach hire
after Trevor James left the team in December. Cameron Knowles, a defender for the USL/USSF D2
Timbers between 2007 and 2010, will join Coach John Spencer's staff effective immediately.
The Portland Timbers announced another signing today, to the coaching ranks, in Cameron Knowles.
Cameron as many of you know played for the Timbers during their USL era from 2007 until 2010.
During that time he played in 77 games and was an integral part of the defense.
John Spencer says:
"I'm really pleased we can add Cameron to our staff.
